The ride is properly controlled, with
good roll stiffness and only a little kick from the empty rear end.

In fact, some hybrid wheels, including those produced by Carbo Tech (supplier of hybrid carbon wheels to BMW and
Rolls - Royce as
well as some of McLaren's road - going carbon monocoques) and Geric, are built to meet or exceed the parameters of standard alloy wheels, not just in terms of
stiffness but also of durability and toughness.
Ford has worked on the chassis, increasing the
roll stiffness but relaxing the spring and damper rates a little for
better composure on lumpy roads.
The uni-body platform is stiff and rigid and we would expect the
roll - over
stiffness to be
best - in - class.
Also as usual you can have the Cup chassis on your non-Cup, the # 1350 it costs bringing you a GKN torque - biasing differential (maximum torque - difference ratio 2.3 to one) as
well as the firmer suspension with 35 per cent stiffer front springs, 38 per cent stiffer rear ones and an overall 15 per cent rise in
roll stiffness.
The new automatic ride control eliminated the need to compromise damper settings between the softness necessary for
good ride comfort and the
stiffness needed to limit
roll on corners by adapting within split - seconds to changes in road conditions.
But ultra-high
roll stiffness isn't favorable to
good off - road articulation, so the Power Wagon uses unique control arms with an added «articulink» to put the flexibility back in.
Interestingly, the shock absorbers» oil lines and valving that control relative
stiffness or compliance are cross-connected (left front to right rear and right front to left rear), giving a
better handle on body
roll, among other deeper characteristics.
